The average woman applies 168 chemicals to her skin every single day. Think about it — shampoo, conditioner, soap, lotion, hand washing, cleansers, toners, makeup. It’s important to understand the harmful effects that toxic ingredients in daily personal care products and makeup can have on your health and the health of your entire family.
There are two things you may not know: Low testosterone in women is MUCH more common than most of us realize, AND it happens much earlier in life than you would expect. But why should we be worried about testosterone? Isn’t it a male hormone?
As we get older, our bodies — and hormones — change. That constant fatigue and other symptoms could be linked with our incredible bodies’ natural hormonal changes. You could be suffering from one of the three biggest hormone imbalances women 35 and older commonly face — and you’re definitely not alone.
Progesterone is the hormone responsible for regulating your cycle and preparing your uterus for pregnancy. Since estrogen and progesterone work together to regulate fertility and menstrual cycles, low progesterone levels can cause estrogen levels to rise which then leads to estrogen dominance.
Have you ever noticed your cycle syncing with women around you or even with the moon? As women, we are cyclical beings, and optimizing your cycle by syncing with the moon is one of the best things you can do to support your reproductive health and overall wellbeing.
Getting Clear on Hormone Imbalance
Kela Smith is the CEO and program director of the Hormone Puzzle Society, a woman’s health hub for fertility, hormones, and the business of coaching. Kela works with women who are struggling with infertility and hormone imbalance and coaches them to get pregnant naturally and eliminate symptoms of hormone imbalance. She brings over 20 years of experience as a professional fitness trainer, wellness educator, and author, as well as a mama to two beautiful children.
There Is a Way to Get Pregnant Naturally
When Kela was told it would be nearly impossible for her to get pregnant naturally in her late 30’s, she took matters into her own hands. After giving birth at 37 and again at 40, she went back to school to help women realize that there is a better alternative and it is totally possible to get pregnant naturally later in life.
Our bodies have an innate capacity for healing naturally, but it is up to us to listen to our body needs so that we can provide it everything it needs to feel better, have fewer symptoms, and focus on what is in our control.
It All Comes Down to the Moon
The two most important things you can do to improve the syncing of your cycle start with diet and stress management. When we can follow the patterns of the moon, we can improve our reproductive health and overall physical health and well-being.
Reproduction is a miracle, and when we can optimize it, not only does our health benefit but our hormones, productivity, happiness, and mood do too. Even if you are not bleeding anymore, syncing your cycle with the moon can still have massive benefits on your whole body’s health.
